Updated Pakistan T20I: Right-handed batter Hasan Nawaz has been released from Pakistan’s squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and the T20I tri-series involving the hosts’ Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Sunday.
PCB also said left-handed opener Fakhar Zaman will replace Nawaz in the T20I squad, while no replacement has been announced for the ODI leg of the series. “Hasan will now feature in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan’s premier first-class competition, with the seventh round beginning November 11,” further said the PCB in a statement.
So far, Nawaz has amassed 113 runs in four ODIs and 457 runs in 25 T20Is. After having a forgettable time in the 2025 Men’s T20 Asia Cup in the UAE, Nawaz’s lean run continued in the white-ball games against South Africa at home via scores of 3, 5 and 1.
